AT&T Stadium

Dallas, USA Capacity: 92,967

The biggest 2026 venue. NFL capacity is 92,967, with FIFA's soccer configuration trimming it to around 80,000 for the tournament. Locals call it Jerry's World after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who opened the building in 2009 with a retractable roof and a 60-yard center-hung video board, then the largest in pro sports. The retractable end-zone doors usually stay open in spring and early summer when conditions allow. Sits in Arlington, equidistant between downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, with the Texas Live! complex of bars and restaurants across the parking lot.
